From what I read on forums (rcgroups and others).. jst plugs are good up to 10A (maybe a bit less but tested good up to 10A).
I see smaller mah batteries with jst plugs (which works with my esc), but as I was thinking about getting some 1000-1300mah 2S batteries, I see one with jst and the rest with XT60.
If I understand it correctly, the constant max draw of a battery is Capacity (in A) x C rating.. so say the 850mah 25C/40C Burst 2S nano tech I currently have would have a max substained load of 21.25A, so why does it have a jst discharge plug ?
Is it because having a jst plug would limit the "usage" of the battery since mostly only low Amp esc use jst plugs ? what about if someone puts a jst plug to match it on a 30A esc with a big motor ?
Or can jst/and smaller gauge wires take more than the 10A max I've read all around ? (I'm guessing not). Maybe I am totally wrong on the substained load of a battery vs load on the plugs/wires? I'm new and trying to learn as much as I can without making too many mistakes.
Basically trying to figure whenever to buy the 1000mah battery I linked above with the jst plug that matches my ESC jst plug, or buy a bigger ESC like the one from flitetest store that has an xt60 plug and buy a battery with XT60 plug on it. It's almost 20gr more than my current ESC (10A from headsuprc), as my setup doesn't pull more than 7A and is for power pack B type planes).
I would prefer to add 20gr of battery weight than 20gr of esc if I could hehe
